The Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for Israel Studies hosts a viewing of “Hummus! The Movie”, followed by a hummus tasting on Wednesday, April  5, from 6 p.m.- 8 p.m. at the UCLA Law School, room 1457.

Hummus, an Arabic word meaning ‘chickpeas’ (its main ingredient), is claimed by all and owned by none. The film follows three main characters — a hard-working Muslim woman, an ever-smiling Jew and a young Christian Arab — on a restless quest for meaning. Despite their historical and cultural differences, they all love hummus. The film also features Olivier, a French Benedictine monk, on his search for the best hummus, and Aluf Abir, a hip-hop musician and 6th Dan black belt, who believes chickpeas have geopolitical power.

The event is free and open to the public. You can find more information here.
